[Madwifi-users] No ath0 when card inserted

[Joo G. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have just installed Linux (Debian Sarge, Kernel 2.6.8-2-386) on a
new laptop. After installing madwifi-old (2005-11-24) successfully and
modprobe ath_pci, I expected to be able to see ath0 after plugging in
my Proxim Orinoco 11b/g PC Card. But there was no such interface
there.  This has never happened on other laptops which I have been
configuring, using the same procedures.

When I check the cardctl status, I get the following:
Socket 0:
  3.3V CardBus card
  function 0: [ready]

So the card could be seen.  I was even able to get a spare Lucent
Orinoco card (using the orinoco_cs driver) to work without any
additional installation.

Hope if someone could figure out what's wrong. I'm not sure if it's a
madwifi driver problem or hardware problem.

In any case, below are some info of the laptop configuration:
